Chapter 1097 Each other
Pyongyang's city walls are also made of bricks and stones on the outside, and rammed earth on the inside, which is quite strong and can still hold up for a long time under artillery fire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, such an artillery bombardment was too shocking for the Japanese soldiers and generals in the city, and it was the first time for them to experience such artillery fire.
The cannonballs exploded at the head of the city, the bricks and stones were splashed, and if they were hit by the cannonballs, they would die, and the bricks and stones were immediately seriously injured, and the huge city seemed to be trembling, and people felt unstable when they stood on it, and everywhere was shaking.
In fact, the artillery bombardment did not last long, and after almost three rounds, the infantry of the Ming army began to attack the city with siege equipment.
"Iron Artillery Team!! Archers!! ”
The Japanese warriors at the head of the city shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Japanese began to shoot at the head of the city to resist, but the artillery suppression under the city was also very timely, and often the defense of the city wall appeared where the defense of the Japanese invaders, and the artillery could immediately hit it.
On a high ground in the west of Pyongyang City, the generals of the Li family were all watching the battle here, looking at the sharp artillery, everyone nodded with satisfaction, and Li Ning, a guerrilla under Li Rusong, said in a rough voice:
"The Japanese are probably scared, our artillery is amazing!"
Li Rusong didn't have any joy on his face, and said there:
"Why did you only bang three rounds, the foot pawn is worthless, but you can't waste it so much!"
Regarding Li Rusong's selection, Li Rubai and his people were also unhappy, but they had to obey when they spoke to Li Rusong, Li Rubai said lazily:
"This artillery plus a cannonball gunner or something, but it's much more valuable than a foot pawn, plus our artillery is in danger of exploding after three rounds, so it's better to be cautious."
The people around nodded in agreement, and Li Rusong looked at the gate of Pyongyang City and said in a low voice:
"If Wang Tong leads the troops, I'm afraid this city wall will have been destroyed by now......"
However, his voice was talking to himself, but no one else heard it, Li Rusong cleared his throat and raised his voice and said:
"First withdraw the foot soldiers, continue to bombard with artillery, you see, now the Japanese in the city still have the spirit of resistance, if they are defeated by artillery, wouldn't it be easier to enter the city, the cannonballs hit the city, anyway, you can also take it back and use it, what do you feel sorry for, don't delay it!"
He accentuated his tone, and the people around him all agreed violently, unwilling to return, the lord insisted, that still had to be carried out, the artillery that had just stopped was set up again, and the city was running and shouting, and the Japanese who were arranging the city defense immediately quieted down, looking for a place to hide.
Such a one-sided bombardment, the Li family's Liaoxi branch was all watching the eyebrows, but Li Rusong didn't look happy here, and Li Sanshi, the counselor of the Xuanfu Mansion, whispered to Li Ning there:
"That time I beat the Tartars on the other side of the Hara Loop, and the artillery of the naturalized merchant group continued to fight, look at this now, the three cannons are stopped, and it doesn't sound good."
"You compare this to the point, just look at it, you can kill the widows, it's useful!"
It can be seen that the damage of the city wall is getting bigger and bigger, and in several places where it has been hit and bombarded, the battlements are all shattered, and the head of the city is not even sheltered, and the city defense in some places has completely lost its effectiveness as a warning.
"Zu Chengxun!"
Li Rusong, who was carefully observing the battlefield, shouted, and Zu Chengxun, who was also in this high place, immediately trotted over, and when he arrived in front of Li Rusong, he knelt down and kowtowed.
"This is Pyongyang City, I am going to let you make meritorious service for your crimes, and taking the city gate will be considered your great achievement, if you dare to go, you dare not go!"
Others don't know the danger of Pyongyang City, but Zu Chengxun understands, and when attacking and defending the city, the situation is even more dangerous and abnormal, but at this time, Zu Chengxun has no choice, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid everything will be lost in the future, he kowtowed on the ground again, and said loudly:
"The head has fallen off the bowl and has a big scar, and the last general dares to go!"
"Okay, you lead 3,000 soldiers to attack the West Gate, and the North Korean generals Li Ai and Jin Yingrui are on the side, after the shelling, listen to my order to move forward!!"
Zu Chengxun agreed loudly, kowtowing again, Li Rusong looked at the two North Korean generals beside him, these two people were still elated when they saw the shelling, but when they heard Fang Cai's order, their faces turned a little pale.
"Let the Iron Artillery Team come down, don't let such a valuable team lose to the city!!"
Konishi Yukinaga was not far from the city wall, but as the cannonballs continued to fall, he also retreated more and more towards the city, originally he was still pretending to hold a long-handled fan as a command, but as the momentum outside became more and more amazing, he also replaced this with a long knife, after all, it is more reassuring to have a weapon in hand.
Now that his face is pale, he is panting in cold sweat and heavily, and no one will even notice this, because President Konishi and the generals around him are like this.
"Once upon a time when I was in Hirado, I heard the merchants of the Ming Kingdom talk about cannons, and I always felt that they were exaggerating, wasn't the cannon the kind on the Nanban Franc ship, and it was not very powerful, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to ......."
The person who said this was Arima Qingxin, and the Arima family was also a daimyo in the Hizen area, but Konishi Yukicho didn't care about these feelings, he was just desperately gathering soldiers and horses there, and withdrawing the valuable teams one by one, and resisting on the city wall was already a mortal situation, so why bother to sacrifice.
But the artillery of the Ming army naturally can't cover every section of the city wall, and it is enough to keep people on the city to monitor the enemy's situation, and Governor Konishi looked around at a loss, not knowing what to do at all, and after withdrawing the iron artillery team, he finally remembered another thing, and shouted:
"How is it at the east gate, is there a !? the Ming army surrounding it?"
The herald with the flag on his back came to the report after a short time:
"The Ming army did not set up a formation in front of the east gate......."...... The Ming army began to line up at the west gate, ready to attack the city!! ”
The herald here hadn't finished speaking, but there was a herald running over there, shouting hoarsely, shouting here, the generals and samurai who were surrounding Konishi Yukicho couldn't help but tremble, and before Konishi Yukicho could speak, the deputy general of the First Legion and the henchman of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi faction in the First Legion said loudly:
"My lord, now we should send the loyal and brave men of our army out of the city to meet the battle, test the reality of the Ming army, if our army is brave, maybe we can capture the cannon in front of the battle!"
"If it weren't for your intimacy, we would also have artillery to welcome who would like to go!"
Konishi Yukichang said angrily, but I don't know who pulled him in the back, Konishi Yukichang immediately stopped, and then changed the topic, as soon as he asked this sentence, the scene was also quiet, this is similar to the outside of the city, the quiet time is very short, and everyone's eyes quickly focused on one person.
After the man was stared at, his face immediately became ugly, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, this person also knew that there was no way to shirk it, so he just stood out with a black face there, and said in a loud voice:
"Please allow me to fight."
"Chongshengjun is really a warrior, you have a thousand people in your headquarters, and I will give you a hundred iron artillery teams, two thousand pikemen, and two hundred cavalry, so that the people of the Ming Kingdom can see the bravery of the Yamato samurai."
The man bowed with a dark face, and then went to prepare, but this person was the general of the Third Army of the Japanese Army, Kuno Shigekatsu, and it was the commander of the Third Army Kuroda Nagamasa who cooperated with the First Army on the Pyongyang side, and he was considered an outsider in the system of the First Army, and such a person was naturally pushed out at such a time.
Kuno re-victorious past preparations, naturally I can't see the behavior of Konishi Yukicho asking others to send troops and guns, he went there to prepare for the war, but Arima Harunobu's headquarters was surrounded, which undoubtedly has the meaning of supervising the war, if you don't go, then there is a way to drive you out.
"My lord, the west gate is opened, and a group of soldiers and horses have come out!
A cadre of people was originally on the high ground watching Zu Chengxun prepare troops there, and incidentally, here Cha Dashou also led thousands of cavalry to monitor Zu Chengxun and the Korean soldiers who were ordered to come forward, so as not to let them escape or change.
Hearing the shouts of the lookout soldiers, everyone's attention turned around, Li Rusong was quite surprised, and said with a sneer:
"I didn't expect the Japanese to have this guts, pass on my general order, let Zu Chengxun suspend the siege of the city, and meet the Japanese invaders, I want to see what kind of ability the Japanese have in the end!"
The herald over there flew to deliver the order, Li Rubai looked left and right but leaned over and whispered:
"Big brother, Zu Chengxun has more than 400 cavalry there, if this battle is broken, it will hurt morale! It's better to let our Li family go to ......"
"If you know whether these robbers are strong or weak, touch them first, weigh them, look at the shelling situation, and then think about what you are worried about!"
Li Rusong said coldly, Li Rubai shook his head and stopped talking.
The order was quickly passed to Zu Chengxun's side, Zu Chengxun looked at the hundreds of cavalry around him, and then looked at the North Korean generals who were obviously scared next to him, while receiving the order, he cursed the heavens and the earth in his heart, and as soon as the messenger left, Zu Chengxun didn't care about the foot soldiers behind him, and the North Korean officers and soldiers on the other side, he directly turned back to a few cronies and said:
"I'm sorry for you, you lost so much money here in Pyongyang, and now you're doing this to die."
"Why do you want to say this, this life has long been the master's, what kind of life and death are you talking about, take the lord away!"
Zu Chengxun nodded, knocked his fist on his hand, and said in a solemn voice:
"If we don't win today, I'm afraid that our industries in western Liaoning will be swallowed up, and my mother-in-law and children are all gone, let's fight!" ——
